Texas 55, Grambling State 27 at Halftime: The No. 7 Longhorns Are Running Away at the Moody Center
No. 7 Texas took a 28-point lead into the locker room against Grambling State on Monday night, halfway to the third straight rout of its opening week at the Moody Center.
AUSTIN — Texas is doing to Grambling State what it did to its first two visitors of the season. The No. 7 Longhorns lead the Tigers 55-27 at halftime at the Moody Center, a 28-point margin built across a first half that was never close for long.
The pattern is the one the building has seen all week: Texas beat Chicago State 109-59 and Gardner-Webb 98-50 to open Sean Miller's second season, and Grambling State — 1-0 after an 89-87 win over Northern Illinois — is the third straight guest to reach the half in a deep hole. Monday's game, the first meeting between the two programs, tipped at 6 p.m. on SEC Network with Texas a 35.5-point favorite; at the break, the Longhorns are inside that number with a half still to play.
The second half is a bench and rotation exercise if the margin holds — the kind of November minutes that decide February depth charts. The Sports Desk files the final when the game ends.
